Fast & Furious 6

If you want to indulge in a cinematic experience of bald men, iconic catchphrases, and a 2 hour movie with absolutely no plot thought or understanding, this is the film for you. Even with millions they had from Fast Five and living in exotic locations, they just can’t wait to give that all up for a picnic table of Coronas. Honestly, 12 out of 10 stars.

It is hard to believe that the 5th entry of a series, any movie series at that, is the best of the group. Fast Five did just that with the Fast and Furious movies. Over-the-top action sequences, a great cast of action stars and recognizable faces from each of the films before, and enough ridiculous dialogue to keep the humor both intentional and unintentional. How could they top themselves? Well, watch Fast & Furious 6, and you'll know how.From the post-credits scene of Fast Five, we knew that Letty (Michelle Rodriguez) would be back in part 6. Hobbs (Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson) and new partner, Riley (Gina Carano), investigate and find that Letty is a part of a new group of hijackers, similar to the crew we've come to know and love from the Fast & Furious series. The leader and main target of this new group is Owen Shaw (Luke Evans, a name to keep tabs on, he'll be a much bigger star in the next couple years). In order to properly combat this new group, Hobbs goes to Dominic Toretto (Vin Diesel), and has him put together his old team. Following the events of Fast Five, the group is spread out all over the world: Brian O'Conner (Paul Walker) has just had a baby boy with Mia Toretto (Jordana Brewster); Roman Pearce (Tyrese Gibson) parties with women in his personal jet all over the world; Tej Parker (Chris "Ludacris" Bridges) gives back to the poor by rigging ATM machines; Han (Sung Kang) and Gisele (Gal Gadot) are trying to settle down in Tokyo. They all get the call from Vin, and the group comes together to help Hobbs. In return for bringing down Owen Shaw, Hobbs will allow them to figure out what happened to Letty, and give them all pardons so that they can return back to the United States from being fugitives.From the moment Hobbs is shown on screen, in a scene where he beats up a man as big as him by throwing him around an interrogation room, you know you are in for a ridiculous treat. The action throughout this movies is top notch, from the first sequence where the group meets Owen Shaw and his team, featuring "evil twins" of everyone in Vin and Hobbs group, including a martial arts ass-kicker played by The Raid: Redemption star, Joe Taslim, and a large muscle bound body builder type, played by newcomer, Kim Kold. Shaw and his team enlist the help of 'flip cars', which look like a cross between Indy 500 racing cars and the futuristic cars of Mad Max and The Road Warrior. The chase sequence sees Hobbs jumping out of a car and onto another one from a bridge, and Letty shooting Dominic without knowing who he is. It's ridiculous, but would we have it any other way? This leads to more epic car chases, macho posturing between Hobbs and Dominic, as well as humorous turns by Roman and Tej. A love subplot exists between Han and Gisele, Brian now is a father, and Owen's past of working with Braga (John Ortiz), the villain from the 4th film, are all made known throughout the film.The action remains the focus, because let's face it, there's only so much ridiculous dialogue that can be said by Vin Diesel, Paul Walker, and The Rock. We care about the characters, but only to set up the next action sequence. Highlights are a fight between Rodriguez and Carano (twice!), Joe Taslim showing off his martial arts abilities, and a highway chase sequence featuring a tank destroying everything, including human life, without so much as blinking. At one point in the sequence, you will suddenly suspend disbelief and watch multiple characters fly through the air as if they were non-superhero superheroes. It doesn't matter, the fact remains that it's so much fun to watch, your brain will enjoy anything at this point because of the excellent film-making at hand by director and series takeover writer, Justin Lin. The real treat is the final action sequence that sees the group chasing down a cargo jet on a runway (that might be 10 miles long with the amount of stuff that happens) that features flying cars, fights between everyone in the hero and villain group on top of cars and inside a cargo jet, twists, turns, and deaths of characters, leading to a pulse pounding conclusion so awesome and over-the-top, you'll have to catch your breath afterwards.How could anything follow this? Stick around to the final scene before the credits, and you'll be in disbelief as the series comes full circle and finally explains the strange Tokyo Drift movie and Han's inclusion in all of this, as well as the next movie's villain. The creators of this series, mainly Justin Lin and Vin Diesel, known exactly which buttons to hit to make the series a who's who of action stars today, while creating a cohesive universe of characters for a movie that just started out as a typical action film back in 2001. It hits all of the points it needs to: HUGE action setpieces, a great cast, macho dialogue, hot women, fist fights and gun fights galore, and plot twists aplenty. I for one love every single one of these movies, and cannot wait to see where they go from here. Fast & Furious 7 is coming next year already, now with James Wan at the helm, I hope he can keep up the energy and fun that Justin Lin has brought with Fast Five and Fast & Furious 6. I also hope Sylvester Stallone is taking notes for his Expendables movies, because the Fast & Furious movies are outdoing him by a long shot in terms of action and star power, and they show no sign of slowing down. I'll be the first one to tell you that this is the best movie of the summer so far, and I'll watch this series until Vin Diesel is an old man flying through the air to save his children from driving a car over the top of a skyscraper.

I love watching these with my kids and it's something the whole family can enjoy

Despite this movie being called Fast and Furious it was Slow and Sad. The last 7 hours of my life I cannot get back. I live 2 miles away from the Tucson AZ Nitric Acid incident and that did nothing to my brain cells yet tonight I go to bed with brain damage after watching this train wreck of American Cinema.Family. 5 out of 5 stars. Will watch the next one, looking forward to Fast X

Hiding all around town. With more action packed and driving fast cars. Letty possibly alive. A ghost who has turned on Dom.

I bought this movie along with the F&F 1-5 set while it was on sale to have my collection complete (until F&F7 at least). I bought this one with the Steelbook case and it is easily the best case of the 6 movies. The artwork is also much better than the bland, bargain-bin covers of the first set of 5.One of my favorite things they worked into this Blu-ray is the homage to Paul Walker (Brian O'Connor) right after the Universal Studios segment when you first put in the disc. It follows him briefly through each of the five movies he was in (he was not in Tokyo Drift) and gives him a heartfelt goodbye. RIP, Paul Walker.The movie itself is your pretty typical action movie, which for me isn't a negative. So you should expect exciting action scenes, fire, explosions, high speeds, fist fighting, and a ridiculous storyline with lots of plot holes. But if you know what to expect going in, you shouldn't have a hard time enjoying it! Very few, if any, of the movies are believable (the first one is probably the least ridiculous, story-wise), but they still lay out an interesting story and plenty of action/racing scenes. Works for me!I won't spoil anything, but there is an especially ridiculous airplane scene in this one, that is really cool, but easily one of the most ridiculous 15 minute segments I've ever seen (short of them stealing the vault in Rio from Fast Five). But you get to watch Toretto (Vin Diesel) fight Hobbs (Johnson) along with some other unknown beefcake guy. Hard not to enjoy some of these crazy fights and racing scenes.The movie ties in with F&F: Tokyo Drift at the end (since F&F: TD is the latest one in the F&F timeline), and introduces a new character to headline as the "bad guy" in F&F 7... Jason Freakin' Statham. So it really gets you excited for the next movie, though due to Paul Walker's untimely passing, leaves us unsure of how that will affect production and overall progression of the F&F timeline. I really hope they do a competent job re-engineering F&F 7 to properly pay respect to Paul Walker and his Brian O'Connor character.

Fast & Furious 6 copies what made its predecessor so rejuvenating, just set in London. 'Fast Five' was a franchise high, transforming a forgettable street-racing montage into an action extravaganza that disregards all laws of physics. This sequel doesn't add too much to Hollywood's popular soap-opera, but it didn't need to. "Family" and absurd set pieces is what you want, and Lin certainly delivers them. Just a shame the fluffiness in between marks for some dangerous pacing issues. More swerve-inducing than a learner driver thinking they could outrace Dominic Toretto! The infamous team of criminals are recruited by the beefcake that is Luke Hobbs, in an attempt to retrieve a world-threatening component back from another team of criminals. Oh, and Letty is alive working for the opposing team. So it just got personal!This sixth instalment waves the usual traits found in this franchise right in your face. Babes in skimpy attire almost pleasuring themselves on top of muscle cars before a street race? Check. Vin Diesel grumbling his way through dialogue? Definitely. "Family" being the most commonly used word in the third screenplay? Probably. And enough delirious action set pieces that forces you to question every physic known to man? Absolutely. Pushing aside CGI Dom launching himself through the air to catch Letty across a bridge and landing safely on the bonnet of a car, it's just an enjoyable action film that knows exactly what it is. Audiences came for outrageous and memorable set pieces, Lin delivered them. Viewers wanted interactions between their favourite character, Lin granted them to us.This is the pivotal instalment that solidified the direction of the franchise, so it made perfect sense not to change up the overall tone. That being said, some captivating substance in between the blistering action would've been appreciated. It's just heavy-handed storytelling, spelling out the plot with magnetic letters one may find on their fridge door, and some forced humorous moments for Gibson's character. Not nearly as tantalising as a tank decimating oncoming traffic or cinema's longest runway in existence (nearly fifteen minutes of full throttle acceleration). Consequently, this does produce several lulling moments, perhaps forcing you to look at your watch. The cast are all enjoying themselves and rarely push their talent, although Evans was probably the first memorable antagonist in the entire series, but they didn't need to in all honesty.The high-octane gear changing speaks for itself. There's enough diesel in this sequel to produce a rip-roaring fun action blockbuster, if you can get passed the inconsistent pacing in its elongated runtime. Oh, and Rita Ora...

I Love all these films for many different reasons this one is still a good film but I am a big fan and I love fast cars so any bad acting I will put up with but it’s not every ones cup of tea my girl friend hates these films, says I am just a big kid but I say hell yeah lol but its still good fun 

Who'd have thought a car franchise that was weazing its last breaths in the third film would now be motoring along and getting better after its 6th? With 7 being filmed and talk of 8th and 9th chapters - the future is looking good.

An awesome movie of this franchise, with added 4K & HDR visual's, love it...

The London scenes are the Best
